Eco-innovation - CP

Eco-innovation is the development and application of a business model, shaped by a new business strategy that incorporates sustainability throughout all business operations based on life cycle thinking and in cooperation with partners across the value chain. It entails a coordinated set of modifications or novel solutions to products (goods / services), processes, market approach and organizational structure which leads to a company’s enhanced performance and competitiveness.

The “Jordan/UN Environment Applying Eco-innovative Strategies for Chemical Risk Reduction in Jordanian industry” project aims at promoting non-chemical alternatives in the Jordanian industry (in particular SMEs) through UN Environment’s Eco-Innovation Approach developed by UN Environment DTIE with the support of the European Commission.

Cleaner Production Unit (CPU) of Jordan was established in 2004 with the support of Secretariat of Economic Affairs (SECO) on behalf of the Swiss Government. CPU is hosted at the Royal Scientific Society (RSS).
